[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: They fit fine and make plenty of sense...It's a big tent, and DSC merely reinforces that it always was. TOS and TAS only showed us a tiny sampling of what was out there in the larger universe. If their aesthetics are cast as unique and unusual, or throwbacks, or otherwise "special"—which was probably Fuller's intent in specifically telling Eaves [i]not[/i] to use round nacelles on his DSC ships—that poses no big problem for me.[/QUOTE]I've heard this before, and I think it's a load of horseshit. Why would Fuller care what shape nacelles are? How does that impact the story he was trying to tell? Considering that most, if not all, of these ship designs look exactly like typical John Eaves, I'm guessing the Fuller thing is just some made-up bs. [QUOTE]It has been clearly stated by Eaves that the thinking behind the redesign of the [i]Enterprise[/i] is that she will be refitted, whether gradually piece by piece, or all at once as in TMP, into her TOS configuration. Of course, we probably won't actually [i]see[/i] this transformation play out (at least not completely) onscreen...but then, who knows at this point?[/QUOTE]First I've head of this, but it sounds like more after-the-fact bs to me. [QUOTE]Nearly all of us here [i]already[/i] accepted that the [i]Enterprise[/i] had refits between each of the two pilots and series proper, due to changes made to the filming model. Retconning these alterations as more substantial than they "actually" were is not that great of a leap, [i]if[/i] that's in fact what they have done here...[/QUOTE]Putting aside the exterior of the ship for a moment, I'm pretty sure that what we will see on the inside of the Discoprise will look far more advanced than what we see in TOS. Are you suggesting that the inside of the ship will go from looking like 2019 sets to 1966 sets? [QUOTE]...especially considering that anything and everything we see in "The Cage"/"The Menagerie" could ultimately be regarded as merely a Talosian illusion, if we really require an in-universe explanation for updating a rejected pilot...[/QUOTE]Christ, now you're starting to sound like Timo. [QUOTE]In any case, we're talking about a change no greater than the TMP refit was.[/QUOTE]I've heard this before as well, and I call bs also. It's one thing to call this show a 'visual reboot." It's another thing entirely to say that what we see in this visual reboot will eventually segue into what we see in TOS. It's either a visual reboot of the TOS era, or it isn't. You can't have it both ways. [/QB][/QUOTE]
